The dipstick holes are also in different locations, but that's relatively easy to sort out too - block one up, drill another in the right place. Job jobbed.
After that you just need an appropriate sump for your application to clear any crossmember or wot-not.
Other than that, I believe the FWD and RWD engine block castings are the same. There was one guy over on RS2000-16v.net who was putting a scorpio 2.3 block in his RS but haven't been over in a while to see if he got it finished or not.
